The original kitchen for the house is in the basement of Matilde Enea and for the most part, has been left just as it was in the 1920s. I love seeing things as they were with implements for cooking, baskets, scales, old stoves, sink, tables and encaustic cement tile floors. It's really like stepping into another time period.. An ironing room is also down here with old irons that were heated in the corner on a wood stove.
